Aaron Rodgers said heâs still grieving.
Matt LaFleur said the show will go on.
Two days before the Green Bay Packers most important game of the year, against their oldest rival the Chicago Bears, the team is dealing with the worst part of the NFL business, an unexpected and potentially devastating injury.
At Thursdayâs non-padded walk through practice, All Pro left tackle suffered what LaFleur called a freak injury. He went down with a knee injury and had to be carted off Clarke Hinkle Field with his teammates watching in shock.  By dinner time, word had spread that Bakhtiari suffered a torn ACL, it would require surgery and his season is over.

MINNEAPOLIS â Running back Dalvin Cook is not practicing with the Minnesota Vikings this week, due to the death of his father.
Two people with knowledge of the situation, speaking Wednesday on condition of anonymity because the team did not announce a reason for his absence, confirmed that Cook went home to Miami to be with his family after the unexpected passing. Cook has a younger brother, James Cook, who is a running back for Georgia.
